Finally!
It really is a great addition. I reread certain books all the time.
It's got a few bugs, but they are small. I'm thrilled, as I'm a big rereader.
The following info was taken from GoodRead Feedback Group. (The adorable above meme was posted by Erin ☕ *Proud Book Hoarder* in that thread.)
If you have “bug” issues, post in that thread. (This is all new to me, too!)
How does it work?
If you’ve already marked a book as Read on Goodreads, simply move the book to your Currently Reading shelf. Once you’re finished (again!), move the book back to Read. A new “date read” will automatically be added to the book, and it will be included in your Reading Challenge if you’ve set a goal this year. Any rereads will be also included in Your Year in Books at the end of 2017.
If you’d like to add more than one “date read,” you can do so in the new My Activity section on the book page for any book you’ve shelved.
You can add as many dates as you’d like, or remove the dates entirely. While the additional dates read will only appear on the desktop site, we’ll add new dates read if you move a book using the iOS and Android apps, mobile web, or the “About a Book” feature on Kindle. We’re working on the ability to view your rereads on mobile.
I was using the “Number of times read” field to track rereads. Is my data still there?
If you previously used the “Number of times read” field, all your rereads are still there. If you added a number, it automatically shows in the new feature. If you used text, we’ve appended it to the private notes section of your review. You can click on “edit review” to change any dates or add more information.
What about if I want to add the previous dates I’ve reread a book?
When you edit your review on desktop, you’ll see a brand-new “Add read date” button. If you want a book to count toward your Reading Challenge and/or Your Year in Books, make sure you add a finish date in 2017.
I was shelving different editions of a book to count my rereads. What happens now?
Rereading counts include multiple editions! You can see and find a link to other editions included in your reading count when you edit your review.
What about writing different reviews for each time I reread a book?
There will only be one text review and one rating associated with each edition that you shelve. However, you’re more than welcome to add additional thoughts in the review text space or use creative formatting to show that you’re writing another part of your review at a later date.
You can read more at our blog post. Please go forth, reread an old favorite, and let us know your thoughts here — we’d love to hear them.
Happy rereading!
